Abstract

A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium, designated strain KP02T, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in Daejeon, South Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, this strain was shown to be related to 'Pseudoclavibacter alba' NBRC 15616 (95.5 %), 'Pseudoclavibacter faecalis' NBRC 15706 (93.9 %), Pseudoclavibacter helvolus DSM 20419T (93.7 %) and 'Pseudoclavibacter bifida' IAM 14848 (93.0 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain KP02T possessed MK-9 and MK-8 as major menaquinones and anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, iso-C16:0 and C16:0 as predominant fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain KP02T was 64.4 mol%. The physiological and biochemical tests suggested that strain KP02T represents a novel species. Based on these data, strain KP02T (=KCTC 19255T=JCM 15058T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Pseudoclavibacter species, for which the name Pseudoclavibacter soli sp. nov. is proposed.
